[quote=Anonymous]Your right to be concerned. My DS started K with a long term sub. On the plus side it was the same sub for 2 months, but the sub was not a K teacher and really didn't understand how to interact with them at their level. While not a teacher myself, this is my 3rd child so I am familiar with how a K class should be run. On the plus side, I don't really worry too much about my kids' performance in K, outside of the socialization and the routines. However, my DS did not get any real reading help until the teacher came back and assessed the kids.

I think it would depend on when in the school year the maternity leave takes place. Also in our case the administration was not very helpful in finding the sub (big surprise to me) and I'm not sure why. I learned that because I became friendly with the teacher.

All that said, it's not the end of the world and teachers do leave/take leave of absences for all sorts of reasons during the school year and the kids adjust. Hopefully the teacher will let you know and give you her transition plan. You can also talk to the administration, but not until the teacher announces her pregnancy. On the plus side, pregnancies are scheduled and can be planned for versus some other reasons for leave.[/quote]
